Do curtailments of X21/X22 count as 'E' workings? Saw four X21/X22s bunched together and one of them was for California.

Yes for all X22 journeys.

For the X21 it depends on the time since some are scheduled to terminate at University Station or Weoley Castle.

There's only 1 of each. 8:00am and 8:20am from City. Everything else should go to Bartley Green, and only when schools are in.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm guessing that 'E' working was to space the services out a little. Those traffic lights outside of University station are causing a bit of a stir for the X21/X22. But when is the X21/X22 not in a stir?

Not to derail this thread off topic too much but yes, those temporary traffic lights outside the ongoing development at University Station are a nightmare. That section can be bad anyway due to the right road and traffic but that makes it worse.

I was kinda hoping a bus lane would be part of the developments but I doubt it.

EDIT: To make it fit in with this thread, 6885 - X21 Woodcock Hill.
One of 4 X21/X22 currently going passed Uni Station outbound.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Didn't catch the number of the bus but a 4M went past me from Walsall saying Birchley Island on the front of it.
